However, in the above-mentioned ink jet head, since a separate piezoelectric element is provided between each ink flow path, a plurality of piezoelectric elements are required in the case of a multi-nozzle ink jet head, resulting in an increase in cost. In addition, since it is necessary to attach each piezoelectric element to the vibration plate, it is not easy to position the piezoelectric element and the ink jet head becomes large, and the ink ejection characteristics at each nozzle depend on the attachment position of each piezoelectric element. There will be variations.

As a method for solving the above-mentioned problems, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-124146, a large piezoelectric element is joined to a vibrating plate, and then a groove is formed on the upper surface of the piezoelectric element between each ink flow path. What is formed is disclosed. FIG. 10 illustrates a conventional example according to the above publication. A plurality of ink channels 2 are formed at equal intervals on the upper surface 1A of the rectangular substrate 1, and the tip of each ink channel 2 is formed in the nozzle 2A.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional ink jet head, it is necessary to bond a piezoelectric element having a size required to cover all the ink flow paths of the multi-nozzle. Therefore, when the large-sized piezoelectric element is bonded, since the bonding area with the vibration plate is large, the thickness of the bonding layer tends to vary. In addition, air bubbles are likely to remain in the adhesive layer. Therefore, when the deflection of the piezoelectric element 4 is transmitted to the vibration plate 3, the loss due to the adhesive layer increases, and the excluded volume in the flow path varies.
Further, when the large-sized piezoelectric element 4 is bonded, the warp of the substrate 1 and the diaphragm 3 itself is directly received, and as described above, when the groove 7 is formed in the piezoelectric element 4 between the individual electrodes 6, the groove is formed. There is a problem in that it is difficult to control the depth, and variations occur in each nozzle characteristic and the influence between adjacent nozzles.

The object is to realize an inkjet head in which the nozzle characteristics do not vary even when the substrate warps.

Next, the step of bonding the first member and the second member will be described with reference to FIG. The adhesive 9 is applied on the vibration plate 3 of the first member so as to have a uniform thickness. Then the second
The piezoelectric element 4 of the member is aligned with the individual electrode 6 formed on the upper surface and the pressure chamber 2B, and pressure is applied from the piezoelectric element side by an appropriate load to bond them. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, excess adhesive and bubbles in the adhesive escape from the side surface of the piezoelectric element and the through hole 8, and the thickness of the adhesive layer between the individual electrode 6 and the pressure chamber 2B becomes uniform.

Ink is supplied to each ink flow path 2 from the common ink supply chamber 2D. The common electrode 5 and each individual electrode 6 are connected to a control means (not shown), and are energized according to the print information. Then, the energized piezoelectric element 4 is distorted, and the distortion vibrates the vibrating plate 3 immediately below the energized piezoelectric element 4. As a result, the volume of the ink flow path 2 facing the energized piezoelectric element 4 is reduced, and the ink is ejected from the nozzle 2A communicating with the ink flow path 2 toward a sheet (not shown).

According to the ink jet head of the above-described embodiment, as described above, it is possible to suppress the variation in the thickness of the adhesive layer immediately below each individual electrode 6, and therefore the ink flow path with respect to the strain of the piezoelectric element 4 can be suppressed. Variation in the ink volume of the reduced volume is suppressed, and the weight of the ink ejected onto the paper and the ejection speed can be controlled.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In the second member of the first embodiment, the piezoelectric element 4 is formed so as to be sandwiched between the common electrode 5 and the individual electrode 6, and the piezoelectric element between the individual electrodes is removed by dicing processing to remove the piezoelectric element 4. It is formed in a comb shape. The piezoelectric element 4 is bonded to the first member in the same manner as in the above embodiment.

In the ink jet head manufactured by the above method, the thickness of the adhesive layer can be controlled as in the case of the first embodiment, and the piezoelectric element corresponding to each ink flow path can be completely separated. It is possible to reduce the influence of the piezoelectric element. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when the substrate 1 or the diaphragm 3 is warped, the piezoelectric element surface cannot follow the warp in the conventional bonding of the piezoelectric element shape, and a partial bonding failure or stress occurs. Although concentration was likely to occur, the second member in Example 2 described above enables highly reliable bonding to the warp of the substrate 1 or the diaphragm 3. Moreover, since the respective piezoelectric elements are connected at the end portions, the bonding of the first member and the second member can be completed in one step, the process can be simplified, and the piezoelectric element for the pressure chamber 2B of each ink channel 2 can be piezoelectrically bonded. This leads to an improvement in the positional deviation accuracy of the element 4.
